I’ve been a practicing Michigan lawyer for almost 30 years and there are many questions that clients ask me repeatedly. We’ll cover topics like deeds and their differences, how a mortgage works, corporations v. limited liability companies, understanding your car insurance coverage, and much more. We will cover information that should be taught in our high school or college years, but somehow is not taught until – and if – you go to law school. This podcast seeks to answer those questions.
If any of this interests you, then this is the podcast for you! Welcome!
